Nearly every vehicle Tesla<\/a> has ever sold in China<\/a> is being recalled<\/a> for a potentially dangerous braking<\/a> and accelerating defect.<\/p>\n

A total of 1.1 million Tesla Model S<\/a>, Model X<\/a>, Model 3<\/a> and Model Y<\/a> vehicles are included in the recall, Chinese regulators said Friday<\/a>. Tesla has sold about 1.13 million cars since it arrived in China in 2014.<\/p>\n

Tesla plans to fix the issue with an over-the-air software update, which will allow drivers to have more control over the intensity of their regenerative braking system<\/a>, which is at the core of the recall. Without more control over this system, which harnesses excess energy created when a driver takes their foot off the accelerator, drivers can experience unintended acceleration, according to Chinese regulators.<\/p>\n

The recall in China comes amid a tough year in the Asian market for Tesla. Following hefty price cuts at the start of the year, some Tesla owners in China protested<\/a> missing out on these discounts.<\/p>\n

Tesla looks more and more like every other car company<\/h2>\n

This is Tesla’s second large recall this year. In the US, Elon Musk’s electric car<\/a> company issued a recall in February on the more than 360,000 Teslas<\/a> equipped with its Full Self-Driving software. The company began rolling<\/a> out an over-the-air fix in March<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Racking up recalls in the US and China is the latest sign that Tesla is maturing into just another car company<\/a>. Safety recalls are a common occurrence for large brands, and more likely to come in big batches when the company is building millions of vehicles a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk has spent much of this year applying some of the oldest tricks in legacy automakers’ playbooks to pump up the company’s sales volumes, such as slashing prices<\/a> and offering incentives like free Supercharger miles.<\/p>\n

Musk has made it clear that 2023 is an important year for Tesla as it seeks to graduate from an early-adopter niche brand to a mass producer of vehicles. The CEO told investors earlier this year that Tesla plans to double its output in 2023 to 2 million vehicles.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
